Microservices have the following advantages over monolithic servers:

  • You can use different programming languages
  • The code base of a single server is smaller
  • They have an independent DevOps process to build and deploy activities
  • They can be scaled depending on their implementation
  • If one microservice fails, the rest will continue to work
  • They work well within containers
  • Increased isolation between elements leads to better security
  • They are suitable for projects involving the Internet of Things
  • They are in line with the DevOps philosophy
  • They can be outsourced
  • They can be orchestrated after development
  • They are reusable
